After being stuffed three straight downs by the defense with crisp, hard tackling, Warrior punter Leslie Gittings misplayed the snap; linebacker Angie Bandstra recovered the fumble on the 12 yard line. Two plays later, ‘Cat’ Converse scored from the 7. Carolyn Lee converted the extra point. The Force upped the score to 14-0 in the second quarter with a combination of pass completions by QB Sami Grisafe and tough running by Converse who this time found pay dirt up the middle from 20 yards out. The entire Force offensive line was named ‘Offensive Game Day MVP’ and gave Grisafe plenty of time in the pocket to read the defense and pick them apart. With 1:52 left until half, Grisafe faked left and threw a tight spiral to Albi Zhubi streaking down the right side 43 yards for the score. Grisafe found Patricia Harper in the end zone just before time expired. A tricky naked bootleg by Grisafe for the two point conversion, made the score 28-0 as the teams headed for the locker room. On the second possession of the third quarter, Grisafe and Zhubi hooked up again from the Warrior 12. Grisafe finished the scoring with 8:55 to go, with a six yard keeper. “The ‘O’ Line played tremendous today”, said Konecki. “Everyone contributed. It’s a good start.”
